The Garmin unit I ordered came with :
1) MapSource CitySelect North America
- Provides maps, POI
2)nRoute
-used for viewing the maps, creating routes, searching for POI, waypoints, etc
3)The GPS receiver

I "believe" you can download nroute for free but you need to purchase the maps from garmin. I'm not sure if the download link on their site is an update or the full version. Regardless, you may be able to use it with non-garmin hardware, but im not sure.

Even if you decided to use non-garmin hardware, it may not be to your benefit because City Select North America is about the same price as the Garmin GPS 18 deluxe(which includes city select north america and nroute AND the receiver)
